WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) -The man accused of setting a fire in 2005 that destroyed a Wichita floral shop has pleaded no contest to a lesser charge. The Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office said 37-year-old Justin Stever entered the plea for a charge of obstruction of official duty, a misdemeanor, based on statements he made to investigators after the fire. He was sentenced to six months probation.Prosecutors allege that in December of 2005, Stever intentionally set fire to the Twigs flower shop at 2601 East Douglas. In 2010, Mr. Stever was charged with arson."Investigators determined the fire started in the dumpster and, as the heat from the fire rose, it breached a window located above the dumpster and entered the rear of the building," the DA's office said in a news release. "Investigators found no evidence of accelerant."Mr. Stever denied intentionally setting the fire, and the case did not proceed to a hearing. ... http://www.kake.com/story/32157790/man-gets-probation-for-charge-stemming-from-wichita-flower-shop-arson

Flowers from all over the world sent to El Paso victim's funeral - WKMG News 6 & ClickOrlando

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Reckard's son said. Elodia Perches, co-owner of Perches Funeral Home, said the funeral home has received more than 400 flower arrangements. One local florist said her business delivered more than 50 arrangements, with orders coming in from New York and Michigan. One of those arrangements came from the family of a victim of the Sandy Hook shooting. "I've been in business over 30 years," Sandy Blanco, owner of Debbie's Bloomers, told CNN. "I've never seen any outpouring so beautiful, and an outpouring as large as this." Salvador Perches, owner of Perches Funeral Home, told the mourners that funeral homes across El Paso had received so many flower arrangements that he coordinated with them to have 22 hearses -- one for each the 22 people killed in the shooting -- to deliver the flowers to a memorial in the the Walmart parking lot. One woman flew in from San Francisco When Hala Hijazi heard about the open invitation to the visitation three days ago, she broke down. Seeing how much Basco loved his wife and how lost he is without her touched her heart, she said. Without a second thought, Hijazi cleared her calendar and booked a flight to El Paso from San Francisco. "I didn't want him to suffer alone. I didn't want him to grieve alone," she said through tears. Hijazi said that "all the rhetoric that's going on in this world" makes her want to show kindness. And if she gets a chance to talk to Basco at the funeral, she wants to thank him. She got that chance when she sat behind Basco at the service. "I thanked him for not just bringing El Paso together, but bringing the country together," she said. "I have never witnessed a human being as humble, as kind, as sweet, as pure of heart that I've ever met in my entire life." Hijazi said with all the negativity, divisiveness and violence in the world, she was worried she would be desensitized. "He was a breath of fresh air to me to weep as much as I could," she said of Basco. She said El Paso was a beautiful and kind community, and she said she would come back for sure. "They're like this whether there was a tragedy or not, and that's how we should all be," she said. Her husband visits her memorial every day Since the massacre that took the love of his life, Basco has visited the makeshift memorial behind Walmart daily, coming and going at all hours. He leaves fresh flowers each day at the site of a white cross bearing his wife's name and removes any that are dying. Sometimes, he talks to her. "I promised her fresh roses every day," Basco said. Basco met Reckard at a bar 22 years ago. She had been smiling at him that night, and he eventually worked up the courage to approach her. A drink and friendly conversation soon turned into a dinner. "Me and my wife had a bond, a magnificent bond," Basco said. "I never felt anything like that in my life." The couple soon became inseparable, traveling around the country until they eventually settled in El Paso. They took care of each other as they grew older and as Reckard began battling Parkinson's disease. On August 3, Reckard headed to the Walmart near Cielo Vista Mall for groceries. It was the last time Basco saw ... https://www.clickorlando.com/news/national/flowers-from-all-over-the-world-sent-to-el-paso-victims-funeral

A Career in Bloom - San Antonio Magazine

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Mandy the Mantle Girl,” as she is known at the White House (yes, that White House), has a floral career that took root when she was a girl growing up in College Station. A third-generation florist, she spent her youth helping out at her grandmother’s floral shop, Nita’s Flowers.“Our entire lives were based around the shop and doing parties and events,” she recalls, adding that Nita’s is still going strong today. “Christmas was especially big for us.”Also “big” was a recurring job providing fresh flowers to President George H.W. and Barbara Bush whenever they stayed at their College Station apartment. That led Barkley to start dreaming of taking her floral talents to even bigger presidential quarters.“I submitted an application and was selected as a volunteer five years ago, and they’ve been bringing me back ever since,” says the mother of three who moved to San Antonio seven years ago and now serves on the White House’s executive decorating team.Still, while flowers are Barkley’s passion, she says that she’s taken a more modern approach to the business. The choice has allowed the freelance florist to create stunning seasonal displays for the exterior of Feliz Modern and other local businesses and also to craft masterpieces for private residences, large parties and small gatherings. Her work often incorporates flowers plus fun accents, such as piñatas, pinwheels, Italian crepe paper flowers, ornaments at Christmas and “crafty” items like ribbon chandeliers. “I actually... https://www.sanantoniomag.com/September-2019/A-Career-in-Bloom/

Now Hear This — Dreamy Dallas Flowers and the Top Florists Who Create Them - PaperCity Magazine

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

If you ask nicely, the kind gents at Trader Joe’s will give you a buzz when fresh blooms arrive during peony season — so you can buy them by the bunch-full before they sell out.As for favorite florists? Bows & Arrows. I remember when the darling Rico fam opened up shop on Greenville Avenue years ago (that store has since shuttered) and their business has blossomed (pun intended) ever since, with everything from floral arrangements to full-on event design. They are absolutely genius. I also adore GRO — another husband-wife owned biz. I took a floral arranging class at their Fair Park-area studio a couple years ago. Cathartic doesn’t begin to describe that two-hour session of life.Bows and Arrows, 4908 Bryan Street, 214.828.2697GRO Floral and Event Design, 3500 Commerce Street, 214.370.9846Lisa Collins Shaddock, Senior EditorI love receiving any floral arrangement! It’s amazing what fresh flowers do to brighten your space and mood. At home, I typically go for simple arrangements of a single type of flower, but it is hard to land on a favorite. I worked with the ultra-talented Junior Villanueva with Garden Gate on the florals for my spring wedding and he helped me incorporate two of my most beloved blooms into the day: the parrot tulip, which I love for its classic shape and cool, frayed edges; and the lily of the valley, which I carried for my bouquet and also used as a motif on everything from the save the dates to our wedding cake.The Garden Gate, 2303 Farrington Street, Suite 100, 214.220.1272Billy Fong, Culture and Style EditorI believe that I have shared before that two of my skill sets are not gift-wrapping or floral arrangements. When I attempt either it looks as though a serial killer has taken creative license. It’s frightening. That said, I do love receiving beautifully wrapped gifts and am always beaming when I get a delivery of flowers for my desk (hint hint). That beaming turns in to outright giddiness when I see that the delivery is from Grange Hall.When I am in the mood to buy flowers for my home or to bring as a last-minute hostess gift I pop into Avant Garden. A Dallas institution, created by my dear friend, Todd Fiscus, that was open for close to 15 years in Highland Park Village and then in 2017 moved to The Shops of Highland Park. My imagination is always sparked when I walk-in and even though I don’t have consummate taste when it comes to flowers, I know the creative and friendly staff will steer me in the right direction.Grange Hall, 4445 Travis Street, 214.443.0600Avant Garden, 4254 Oak Lawn Avenue, 214.559.3432Hillery Stack, Dallas PublisherMy most favorite thing in the world is a bouquet of sunflowers. They are so happy. Everything about them makes me smile. Their simplicity is endearing yet at the same time their bold beautiful commands your attention. When I close my eyes and envision my happy place, it’s a picnic in a Tuscan sunflower field. I think one of the most beautiful and unique sunflower arrangements I’ve received was here in Dallas from Dr. Delphinium. It’s my go-to place for all things florals.Dr. Delphinium, 5806 W. Lovers Lane, 214.522.9911Linda Kenney, Account ManagerMy mantra is “Flowers are love’s truest language.”I adore flowers; I am happiest when I am in an environment of flowers. I felt enchanted and giddy when I walked through the Gardens of Giverny.
